This might be tips and information or other things they can really use. Then they might buy the whole package from you, the higher res version, longer form works, custom jobs, or backstory information. Kevin MacLeod, the composer is a great example of a guy who gives tons of great content away with the important proviso that you give him credit. His music is on thousands of videos. A lot of commissioned work comes his way because of that.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-90631399313176905312013-10-02T00:17:07.487-04:002013-10-02T00:17:07.487-04:00Thanks so much for your blog, and I really enjoyed...Thanks so much for your blog, and I really enjoyed reading this interview. I&#39;m especially interested in what you said, &quot;Free content builds paid content; You give stuff away so that you can sell it later&quot;.<br /><br />I&#39;ve been thinking of starting to put my work online for free just to jump-start my ambitions, build an audience, get feedback, and keep myself motivated to keep up the pace of work. (It&#39;s hard to stay on track when the day job eats up time &amp; energy). But I also worry about someone taking my ideas (I&#39;m an educational cartoonist)... I wonder how this looks from your perspective as an artist who thrives with an online presence.Leifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377423701419088820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-29918195058189689302013-10-01T16:46:16.559-04:002013-10-01T16:46:16.559-04:00Great interview.

I think in the future ownership of work will become more and more possible for the artist, which is a wonderful thing. I agree with the multiple skills, too. More and more I see artists transitioning into other areas (directing, producing, etc) and it&#39;s fantastic.krystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943824077845596208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-30662711845116247922013-10-01T16:00:08.203-04:002013-10-01T16:00:08.203-04:00great interview; great advice. great interview; great advice.

I am so glad to read your advice about getting good at many different things, including accounting! <br />I find myself currently working as an accountant and attending evening classes, and have felt a little off-course when it comes to art... okay, a lot off-course! I decide to view this time as being part of the preparation for when I can transition towards something more art-sy. One day... :-) I know all that accounting will come in handy at some point. It has to. <br />Until then, I will immensely enjoy reading your blog and books + watching your youtube videos, DVDs and concert window sessions.<br />Thank you!<br />Monika<br />monbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987299569021308963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-67284823008404719192013-10-01T14:30:30.648-04:002013-10-01T14:30:30.648-04:00Thanks, Master.
